A company ought to be able to choose who they employ. What makes Americans more deserving of an I.T. job than a team in India? You're not thinking like a global citizen.

  A company may choose who they want to employ selecting from the pool of the citizens and legal residents of the country. Works like this everywhere in the world, why should the US be different? If we want to go global, then: - All kinds of jobs should be open to imports, not just software (let's start with importing a few CEOs from India/China, judging by the outsized salaries, there apparently is a severe shortage of CEOs) - Let's open up all countries to everyone. Most countries' labor markets are not easily accessible to foreigners.

  "You're not thinking like a global citizen." No. Because I'm not a global citizen. I'm a citizen of the US. And it is much more in my interest that my countrymen have good jobs, than someone halfway around the world.

  If the company is hiring someone on-site in America, they should not be able to just circumvent local labor markets thanks to visa loopholes that were put in place by their crooked crony politicians. That American company succeeded in part because of the infrastructure, security, and society that has been set up and paid for by American tax dollars. Why should anyone support a system that lets companies take all the tax payer funded benefits of being based in America, yet gives nothing back in return (much like the current tax code)? If the employee is living in America, these companies should not be allowed to abuse the visa system.
